Mathematics

Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
High school diploma or equivalent foreign qualification.
To be admitted to the Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics, applicants must be familiar with basic mathematics and elementary logic, and demonstrate reading comprehension skills.

Admission assessment:
Admission to the Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics is open, subject to a mandatory, non-selective, assessment test before enrolment. Candidates will have to sit for the TOLC (Test Online CISIA) at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems). Register to the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it).
The tests providing access to the degree programme in Mathematics are: TOLC-S, and TOLC-I.
Only after taking one of these tests, will you be able to enrol, WHATEVER THE RESULT:
- TOLC-S, divided into 4 sections: Basic mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Reasoning and problems (10 questions - 20 minutes), Reading comprehension (10 questions - 20 minutes), Basic sciences (chemistry, physics and geology - 10 questions - 20 minutes).
- TOLC-I, divided into 4 sections: Mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Logic (10 questions - 20 minutes), Science (10 questions - 20 minutes), Verbal comprehension (10 questions - 20 minutes).
Each question has 5 answer options, of which only one is correct.
Score: +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong answer, 0 for a no answer.
Each TOLC test includes an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. This section does not count toward the overall test score.
Other equivalent tests may be accepted with the prior approval of the Academic Board.

Registration procedures and deadlines will be provided in the call for applications posted to the University website at https://matematica.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi

Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if admitted to years subsequent to Year I.
To this end, they will have to submit a specific request for prior assessment of their academic records using the online service as shown in the call for applications.
These candidates must provide a full transcript of records (listing exams, subject areas, credits, grades) and attach the course syllabi. For more details and dates, please refer to the call for applications.
Students admitted to the first year will be required to take the test.

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the Mathematics module will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA).
These requirements can be met by passing part A (Syllabus) of the Basic Mathematics exam by December 2023. Students who do not fulfil their OFA may not take any second-year exams before passing one of the following exams: Algebra I, Mathematical Analysis I, Geometry I.
